This 2-group quasi-experimental study was conducted to explore the following research questions: Do the fourth graders' post-intervention scores achieved in the unit of force and motion achievement test and attitude scale toward the unit depend on being in the groups that were taught the unit either with 'Online Advance Organizer Concept Teaching…

Aim: This paper aims to discuss the link between childhood trauma and young people's disruptive behaviour in the classroom, and argues that teachers should receive training on 'attachment aware' approaches to help them respond effectively. Rationale: Two inter-connected problems affecting the UK education system are the number of young people who…

Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a teaching framework to integrate technology in teaching. Integrating technology into the curriculum becomes an inseparable part of the best teaching practice. This study aims to produce learning tools on blended learning integrated with the PBLRQA strategy in the form of the lesson…

The purpose of the study is to examine the positive and negative experiences of teachers through a model in the process of designing a transdisciplinary integrated curriculum within the framework of IB-PYP. The design of the study included a holistic, multiple-case approach. The study was carried out with 50 teachers, among which 7 (14%) are male…

Nine English primary schools piloted homework tasks that utilised mathematical problems set in "everyday" contexts to generate specific forms of parental involvement in children's learning and, as a result, make mathematics homework enjoyable. Homework is pedagogically and socioculturally significant because of the effect it has on…

Science has long been regarded as an important subject in a school curriculum and science teachers play a vital role in the learning process of the students in the science classrooms as well as in other subjects. However, students still encounter problems related to their science teachers, which significantly influence their academic performance…

Computational thinking is the capacity of undertaking a problem-solving process in various disciplines (including STEM, i.e. science, technology, engineering and mathematics) using distinctive techniques that are typical of computer science. It is nowadays considered a fundamental skill for students and citizens, that has the potential to affect…

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction develops and implements strategies to reduce disaster risks and can be used as a pedagogical tool to improve knowledge of natural hazards. From an early age, individuals can contribute positively to natural hazard mitigation and this is supported by research conducted in schools in countries like…

Many students struggle with proof writing. However, struggle is not universally bad: researchers have distinguished between productive and unproductive forms of struggle and have identified productive struggle as essential for learning mathematics. Yet, in practice, recognizing when learners are engaged in productive struggle or unproductive…

In this paper, we extend our previous work on challenges teachers face when engaging with proportional reasoning contexts to investigate two contexts that included four problems for middle grades teachers to solve as well as eight student solutions. Analysis included coding for correct solving of the problem as well as making sense of and…

Mathematics teaching and learning goes beyond computations and procedures; it rather includes complex problem-solving and critical thinking. Kilpatrick, Swafford, and Findell (2001) identify five mathematical competencies that are present in mathematics learning: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, adaptive reasoning, strategic…

A teaching approach plays an important role in teaching and learning process of an introductory programming (IP) course. The teaching approach should focus on different programming skills required by novice programmers. In this study, we introduced the teaching and learning approach based on an ADRI (Approach, Deployment, Result, Improvement)…

This study aims to investigate the parental views of pre-school children during the COVID-19 pandemic and is conducted using a basic qualitative research design from qualitative research methods. In the study, parents of children attending pre-school institution were identified through criterion sampling techniques from non-selective sampling…

The use of the multiaxial dimensions of the DC:0-5 classification system during the assessment process provides an organizing framework for understanding the impact of family relationships on a child's functioning. In this article, the authors describe an assessment with a high-conflict family and how contrasting the impact of parental conflict…

The purpose of this study was to reveal the leadership qualities of school principals in solving a noise problem at school. A single case study was selected as the research design. The study group consisted of primary and secondary school principals, one female and three males, working in the schools where the project was conducted. The main data…
